Supporting and as for the Orders, Maybe ask our Corp friends what experience they have or if there are any experts to give us a hand?

Otherwise, it's the good old fireing lines, fake out blind spot which are actually traps/disruptors. We need to find who is summoning these fucks.

I know y'all want to see her again. Yet that still will not help our underground problems. Then if be chance they are found. There is no way to know if she will help us.

So how about we add more to this. Say boom box the tunnels. The sound should mess up their communion and maybe make their ears bleed.

>>925767
Hey AI strum, what's going on in your neck of the woods? Has the Corp building been hit any? Also any way to resupply special or heavy weapons ammo?

Rolled 9 (1d100)

I think if we find her we'd have a chance of having her assist in figuring out how the hell were supposed to stop them, she did leave us a note after all with a hint.

Boom boxing the tunnels I'm alright with

Stalkers dispatched...but they were not able to sneak passed the outsider swarm. Mostly due to a mixture of too many and something else that could somewhat sense them. According to them the outsiders are gathering for a great big assault.

Sadly that news came in too late for the outsiders made a massive push towards your forces. You thought it would of been find but the burrowers some of them were missed while others were bursting out of the ground. To be shortly followed by a surge of monsters. Even the crazies in the tunnels network were getting pushed back. Meanwhile the skies themselves filled to the brim with flying monsters that came charging down from above.

The bandits did their best but they are either getting overwhelmed or pushed back.

What do?

Front line falls back while second line gives covering fire if there is a third line of defence they'll give supressive fire, if not then first line will retreat to the third line for covering fire and we continue until we've fell back far enough

I really hope this isn't a wasted crit. Apparently not everyone instinctively replies to themselves when they make an addition or modification to their plan; this right here is one reason why you should do so. To make it linked to the original action you wanted.

Although I suppose you are implying a request for help from Sevitho, if not explicitly saying so.

>>926286
That's them. We didn't find them, we found a restricted area and they were ready to blow our head off if it wasn't an honest accident.

Yeah.. dropped the ball on that

Can't really blame you though, since it could have just as easily been a 1 that didn't count. Assuming that's what Genie's ruling is, since on its own it's kind of ambiguous as to whether or not it's its own action.

"You don't think I HAVEN'T tried every POSSIBLE solution and trick to get a hold of my megacorp? How could using a simple radio POSSIBLY get a hold of our group when NOTHING else can?"

"Well they should be nearby I mean I DID ran into them while inside the tower. Just try.

"Oh in that cas-"

"Sevitho. Emergency Radio Contact. Backtracking trace...confirming Sevitho Status. We had thought we lost you there given how badly the site has been compromised. So who is this?"

"...I cannot fucking believe that just worked," admits Strum before saying. "AI Strum speaking and calling for assistance. Our site has been too heavily compromised and we seek to withdrawal all available assets and self destruct the rest. We however in a bit of a bind."

"AI Strum...checking database. Alright we have your info on file...wow things really must of gone to shit to have you wake up and take control. So site is not able to be used then I take it ?"

"Negative. Damage is too extensive and are currently getting attacked for a period of two weeks."

"You should have some assets to awaken still and self destruct protocols. What do you need us for then?"

"Assistance and new location to move into."

"...Most megacorp sites are varying levels of compromised or lost as well. In your cityscape...there is not much to choose from that may be of use."

"Nothing? How about assistance."

"Not nothing for assistance...we have assets in the nearby range and sea. For moving locations we would suggest megatower in Devon Street or the coastal enclave south of you. If neither of those locations will work we have assets in nearby regions."

"...Some of our still intact systems are of highly restricted nature. We cannot afford a lengthy trip."

"Those are still uncompromised?"

"Somewhat but they are in varying states of disrepair."

"...We can arrange for a ship to dock. That is the best we can offer."

"No teleporters or space based assistance?"

"Negative. Space near planet is...most compromised. Might as well be part of a separate star system surrounded by defensive countermeasures for likelihood of penetration."

"I see...what will income assistance be made up of?"

"We can contact an affiliated paramilitary, affiliated think tank, and arrange supply drops. Best we can offer assuming we can successfully dismantle still operational tech and scavenge remaining damaged systems."

"That we can do," confirms Strum.

"See told you that would work," you butt in at the end of there.

"Not gonna say anything Strum? You really gotta learn that sometimes the simplest solutions are the best solutions."

Shame that roll wasn't also connected to an action.

"Sevitho, Strum, now seems like a good time to unleash the counter-lifeforms you've got stocked up, if it seems appropriate."

"Stalkers, take advantage of the havoc they cause to sneak out. I want you to hunt down and murder the shit out of that Phantom Stranger. You're likely going to have to call in support whenever you find him though, and he's tricky so if you need help just let me know and I'll see what I can do."

Otherwise forces should hold the line. Deploy the heavy weapons and clear the compound so we can get back to just holding the outside perimeter. Make sure to give Sevitho's counter lifeforms a wide berth, and if they start coming after you run like fuck into the outsiders and you'll probably lose them.

If we had to choose a place to target the release of the lifeforms, I'd choose the underground.

I think we still want to go with this action, even if we missed our chance for a crit on it. or did we

>>926504
We shouldn't unleash the lifeforms. Not yet anyway, preferably not until much later. This is one of our problems with sieges and other drawn-out battles; we never hold anything in reserve. We should keep some surprises for later.

Rolled 29 (1d100)

>>926521
Yeah I think my previous action will be a good measure to follow up with.
>>926113

>>926521
Are those life forms the unrestricted ones strum was talking about?

>>926521
I just figured to make a hellscape of the underground so we didn't have to worry about it anymore. We're pretty good at fabricating up bullshit when the time comes for a push.

If the lifeforms are controllable then bonus points because then we can use the tunnels to freely move about and they'll be well defended.

That's the thing though, we don't need a push. We need to be able to dig in, outlast, withstand the grind. A trick like this should be saved for when we desperately need a break.
Otherwise we'll have to fabricate bullshit for a push many, many times over the next 2 weeks in-game, and what happens if we drop the ball?

Rolled 95 (1d100)

>>926646
Your attempt to order your troops to dig in and outlast the assault. Which turned out to be a disaster. As your forces were overwhelmed and forced into a full retreat. All the way into the tower in fact. Even the crazies were driven back and all your forces suffered heavy losses. Thankfully the boobytraps had some effect on the enemy.

At the tower your forces manned the defenses that they built but you also noticed some new defenses probably built by the surviving few secret corp personnel. Which included phase doors and laser walls which sliced anything foolish enough to walk into it. Laser minigun turrets and other interesting but advanced defenses.

Sunlight was finally seen in the horizon. Which had interesting effect on the flying outsiders for when the sunlight hit them they burst into flames and turned into ashes. Sadly it will be some more time before the sunlight reaches the other outsiders.


What are your orders?

>>926783
>HOLD THE WALL

Rolled 34 (1d100)

>>926783
Mirrors! Use giant mirrors on the tower to refelect the sunlight on the outsiders!

Rolled 68 (1d100)

>>926802
Actually this

>>926802
I'm just saying, if we have anything like this...

Rolled 71 (1d100)

>>926822
The tower isn't exactly equipped with giant mirrors(all their mirrors are either broken into tiny pieces or looted).

So you order your forces to hold the wall. Thankfully with the help of the megacorp personnel and bots you were able to push the outsiders back long enough for them to get hit by sunlight or flee underground. Problem is the buggers in the tunnels weren't zapped and are still coming at you. Thankfully chokepoints are a bitch and after awhile they stop coming. Either because they ran out of guys or wised up you don't really know.

Thus ends day 1.

Day 2 meanwhile...you were already driven back to the tower. Your defenses were overwhelmed and you don't know how long it will be before the next attack comes. Nor do you know who the attackers shall be.

What are your orders?

So get your vip ready

Rolled 95 (1d100)

Doks, tend to the wounded.
Other weirdos, coordinate defensive efforts with megacorp AI and personnel if possible.
Crazies, try to rig some surprises for whoever comes at us next, maybe pitfalls into still-outsider-infested tunnels.
Undead, try to reclaim and hold defensive positions closest to the tower itself.
Everyone else, rest while you can.

>>927077
Well, we sort of ignored what the note said in favor of trying to find her.

Rolled 32 (1d100)

>>927084
Sort of. We did something about the music, but other than that we mostly just looked for her.

Rolled 77 (1d100)

I mean the note said the music was important and that the stranger was tricky, we got rid of the music but aside from that what else could we go off of?

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=genie

On an unrelated note, it seems my critfail has scared everyone else off. Fan-fucking-tastic.

>>927214
Well, "find the stranger" and "find the tricks" were listed options for actions. We could have done those instead of "look for female bandit"

Rolled 73 (1d100)

>>927230
Okay so we were assaulted by all 4 in one day, I remember something about the monsters and crazies leading them off somewhere maybe I'm mistaken.

Technically it's not about sassing cull, it's the fact that the base of operations will more than likely self destruct after assistance and their recollection efforts are complete. I mean we CA hold a point, but when the point is going to explode it's time to see about further orders or y'know bitch about the whole "were going to die in a fiery tower" thing until it's fully noted how dumb that is.

I'll admit my wording could use some touch ups, feel free to change it how you would but my point remains the same. Shit went faster than we expected, things are about to explode, can we hurry this up

Rolled 27 (1d100)

>>927250
...Okay, apparently we're getting contradictory interpretations of Strum's conversation.

I thought he was going to move AFTER the siege is over. I'm sure he will want to move before is possible, but I don't think that is possible.
Best we could do is ask Cull to call off the attacks for Strum's sake.

You however seem to think Strum's already started the fucking countdown to detonation.

Now, I may be wrong, but I think we at least have to hold until the Megacorp ship arrives to take Strum away. Informing Cull of this situation may be wise, but we should ask him if he wants to change the plan, not telling him basically "the situation has changed, so fuck your plan"

Rolled 4 (1d100)

By the way has someone still been keeping track/notes of everything? Or will I need to stop being lazy and start that up again.

>>927291
That would suck if the count down has already started. I doubt they even had a chance to scout the locations out.

>>927006
Spike walls every where. They are cheep and will slow ground targets. For the tunnels we deploy dupset guns. Make that DJ proud. Set up use of our energy weapons since the Corp can recharge those.

Have our commander undead we revived get some units to use. Heal our undead bros and restock with the dead around us.

Next do y'all think we can taint the land to boost our undead?

Rolled 26 (1d100)

>>927291
Nah I don't think he's started the countdown, I just figure the megacorps assistance will be here in the next day or two, three tops. Given that time frame it would be beneficial to have a plan of getting the hell out of dodge when the mutant shit hits the fan.

Like I said I'm not the best at wording things, I don't think I've said that, which is why I said feel free to change up how I posted it. But sticking around holding a point that will blow up sooner or later does not sound like the best scenario and we're already knee deep in it.

Rolled 73 (1d100)

>>927393
Maybe if we throw a please in there and remove the whole "were moving out"
Were kinda the ones taking orders here not giving them.
Also I support >>927077

Rolled 34 (1d100)

>>927365
This is the closest thing to orders anyone else has proposed, and everyone is ignoring what I suggested.
So Support.

Tainting the land could backfire. I don't think we've seen the last of enemy undead in this siege.

>>927393
First, why don't we ask Strum what their plan is? (particularly when, precisely, they expect to leave) And if we can maybe go with them when they leave and help them move?

Rolled 60 (1d100)

>>927440
Sure why not
>>927365
I'm okay with this

Rolled 90 (1d100)

>>927440
I didn't mean to ignore. I kinda had to rush read to know what's going on. How about we combined them some what.

Doks, tend to the wounded.

Other weirdos, coordinate defensive efforts with megacorp AI and personnel if possible. Perhaps Spike walls every where. They are cheep and will slow ground targets.

Crazies, try to rig some surprises for whoever comes at us next, maybe pitfalls into still-outsider-infested tunnels. Also in tunnels we deploy dupset guns. Make that DJ proud. Set up use of our energy weapons since the Corp can recharge those.

Supporting. God damn that was day 1?

Rolled 75 (1d100)

>>927862
It's gonna be one hell of a ride. Maybe the other options for the Corp will blow and they will stick around and fight.

Rolled 93 (1d100)

>>927931
I have an idea...in theory all we have to do is hold the site. Let them blow the place away then lay low. We just sit hidden and wait, technically we held it. Just let whatever else is there roam about, if asked why they are there say we used the locals as a defense.

Rolled 50 (1d100)

>>927938
That's a very survivor-like tactic.

I think we should say "Fuck defense, we're obviously horrible at this." and go offensive.

Reconstruct everything real quick and then prepare for tomorrow/today's assault. Hopefully Captain Cull is scrambling to find things to throw at us since qe elkminated so much yesterday.

What i would do fora cut-scene dialogue of him right now...

>>926646
Well now we lost everything :P

Pushes can generally be managed using clever plans without the use of (much) additional materiel, so really it would be fine if we played that card and then still had to push several times over the next few weeks.

In fact, I'd STILL like to let the counter-lifeforms out into the tunnels so they can secure them for our own forces.

In a slightly less realistic scenario I'd also like to see everyrhing rebuilt in a day, our speedy guys go out on raids for resupply, and us rez all the fucking dead we can (especially monster but including outsider dead) to fill up our commander undeads' capacity. Including that goddamn horde controller.

Rolled 84 (1d100)

>>928480
Well this is why it's training. We get good or fail and hope we make it out.

Upside for us is we got undead to resupply our troops. Down side is weapons and ammo.

>>928641
Speedy is for raiding and starting up in an area. We NEED beefy if we are to hold anything.

>>928642
Failure in this case means death, on account of the double nat-1 training and all.

Rolled 61 (1d100)

>>928648
Again, let someone else worry about that. We're good at what we're good at, we ought to focus on getting better at that and avoiding situations that don't take advantage of our strengths rather than patching every last weakness we have (because there will always be more weaknesses).

>>928649
Maybe we should take a risk and send out more raiders to gather us resources. Can't beef up with out some creatine.

Then we can try for more bandits to hire.

>>928657
Getting good at beefy is part of our commander training. We can't just forget about it. It would get us over run in bodies and killed.Bandit creed is just two things speed and attack, defense and attack. It's not gonna hurt to know both. After all it's not like we are mastering everything in the world.

We just have magical psi necromancer with commander training to better make use of the undead. If we say start adding CEO training or bot building. Then I would agree on it being to much.

Rolled 32 (1d100)

>>928672
Suit yourself, but I can't really think of any good defensive tactics, especially considering how we just got kicked out of all our defenses on Day 1. I'll leave it to other anons.

We certainly need /something/ new because whatever we were doing before just got our faces fucking stomped.

Rolled 69 (1d100)

>>928678
I concur, I'm not a strategic genius so I need some new ideas to bounce off of

Rolled 2 (1d100)

>>928678
>>928680
We were told what to do at the start. Bandits have raiders take out the enemy's flank, supply line and so on. We can then use those supplies raided to improve.

The bandits at base camp just pile on on all the guns and shit that can to take hits.

So have pearly make a way out for some raiders and Mc Sream go with to take out the living with no problem.

Seeing that we are with the Corp supporting we can hold till the get back. If we can't well not like we are able to push just yet, we'll need an opening.

Rolled 23 (1d100)

>>928738
Aah yes, the Outsider, Zombie, Undead, and Monster supply lines. Sounds good.

We faced all the hardest targets for Bandit Raiding where standard bandit tactics don't work so well, Captain Cull also arranged for us to face all the hardest targets for bandit defenses.

The land around apears clear, for the time being. There are outsiders underground, and there may be some mysterious ones in the mysteriously cleared land around the tower, but getting raiders out to raid isn't really the problem.

>>928776
This is on top of the fact that we don't have a full proper bandit base's worth of personnel and equipment to work with. If we had expelled all our raiders then we just would have an empty base here.

Rolled 36 (1d100)

>>928776
Do you doubt MADness. Those fucks could open a portal to those outsider bastards home town and win them over before they could even know what happened.

Necromancers need a supply of components for the stronger and more magic casting like anyone else.

Then you know just raid other people or threatened for tribute.

For the monsters or zombies we could just lead them to a target and take shit in the chaos.

Rolled 62 (1d100)

>inform cull of the new developments, see if has further orders or information of surrounding groups we could recruit
>ask strum if they'll be self-destructing and how long it will take for their people to get here
>work on our exterior defences and clear those tunnels

Or if you have another suggestion suggest the action/s so we can come to some sort of consensus.

Rolled 6 (1d100)

>>928971
>>928776
We can likely reclaim the defensive lines. The problem is holding them. We don't have the manpower, and what we do have isn't up to snuff.

I think maybe I've been looking at this the wrong way. The rules of engagement are stacked against us. What would a true bandit do in this situation? Change the rules! We have to CHEAT!

For zombies, I think we should set a shitload of explosives far away-but still close enough for this purpose-and detonate them when the zombies are heading our way. Divert them.
I don't know how fast MC Scream is or how much they can carry, but they might be the best one for this task.
It could also work if we found something explosive to blow up a suitable distance from here.

Outsiders? We need to find the Stranger and get them to see things our way. A Stranger is just a friend you haven't met after all.

Undead? We already spoke to the necromancer behind them and she fucked us, so similar to the Outsiders but we have a head start on this one. I was too hasty in saying our efforts to find her again were misguided.

I don't know what to do about the monsters, fucking tame them or something?

Wounded are being tended to. Weirdos are going over the defenses and placing spikes...everywhere they can manage.

Crazies go off into the tunnels. Sonic weaponry entrenched and energy weapons are brought out. We don't exactly have very many energy weapons is the problem though.

Undead are raised.

After that while your forces were recovering you went to speak with Strum.

"Plans are simple grab everything we can and scrap the rest. Awaken all our remaining nasty surprises to help hold the lines. After that we hold position...and wait."

"You should retake and rebuild all the defenses you can. The more space you can fall back to the better your chances. You have a decent amount supplies but you may need to ration the special ones. Given what the later attacks will likely unleash if you run out of the special ammo sooner rather then later you may find yourself in trouble."

"I know that bone earth creature can manipulate the bones of earth and ruins it can be quite helpful in building defenses or setting up traps. Nasty undead they are...but very rare. That spirit storm meanwhile if you can bind it to an area will devastate everything that comes into range of its fury."

"Our own forces...are too few to be of much help. Unless that is your driven back to this tower. Do not expect much help from us outside it beyond few toys and some woken up menaces. Once those toys and menaces are used up do not expect much help. This site is...very compromised."

"What about the reinforcements? Those paramilitary types?"

"Paramilitary are not known for their number and frankly we ain't that super valuable. I am one of the most valuable things here...which isn't saying a whole lot."

"...I think you have a twisted idea of whats valuable Strum. A LOT has changed since the Fall and you are very likely underestimating your own value as well as what items you still possess. When will they get here?"

"Don't know. Said anything from a few days to over a week."

What are your orders?

"Pearly white, get to work on construction of better walls, choke points, bunkers and whatever else defensive. Afterwards get to work on helping with traps."

"Men, start setting up traps pearly white will assist in the trap construction after he finishes with defences. I want the most defence minded person to go with him right now to give him orders of where to put what."

Alright, thanks for the talk Strum.

Pearly my smart friend. Unless there's anything you want to add/say. Build some traps and defenses. As our boys retake lost ground.

Mc Sream, you see anything we can grab near by of worth? Maybe we can have the stalkers grab it.

Any free hands can raid and or threaten for much needed ammo and loot. If we are lucky we may see some outcaste or other wondering beings we can recruit.

Rolled 62 (1d100)

>>929797
Retake and refortify/repair all the defenses we can. Pearly White, you take the lead on this, and if you have any nasty tricks that occur to you while you're going through go ahead and execute them.

All forces are dedicated to this task.

Rolled 15 (1d100)

Okay all of us are up for pearly white working on defences/traps.
What about mcscream? I think he'd be best suited tied down to the tunnels to keep constant guard

Rolled 32 (1d100)

>>930122
I figure we could try to bind him to some of the chokepoints in the tunnels (or somewhere) and that'd probably take care of that section of the defenses.

Really? Well what bandit roles are there?

I hadn't asked because I'd assumed we had just the shittiest tier of new recruit who hadn't even begun to develop any skills towards a certain tree or been issued anything more than the most basic gear.

If we actually have several different groups of clearly delineated troop types then that would be an entirely different ballgame.

>>930521
To be honest we don't what sort of undead we have at this point either, and we need all the details we can get if we're trying to survive this.

Though to me I must admit that Beefy seems more like something you ARE rather than something you do.

Rolled 17 (1d100)

>>930487
They promoted themselves up actually due to the EXP all you earned.

Otherwise still rather mixed.

>>930430
Your fewest are the crazies followed by the weirdos(specialists). After them is the Speedy's and after them are the Beefy's.

>>930521
Bandits auto upgrade themselves and promotions work across faction lines.

>>930588
Pirate zombies, paramilitary stealth zombies, and monster zombies.

Its a mix of both actually. Bandits tend to go with whichever feels more 'right' and what they are good at. Beefy bandit's basically stick around at base, support raiders as the big buys, and do the sieges.

Rolled 64 (1d100)

Rolled 85 (1d100)

Pearly white makes use of the time to...add onto the defenses. Mostly in the forms of trenches, walls, large mounds of earth creating mazes, chokepoints, and killzones. Some of the undead meanwhile...did 'something' to the flesh and gore left behind by Pearly who merely took some of the bone as construction material. What the undead used it for was to create a noxious unknown substance that even made the bandits blanch. The substance was then slathered liberally all over the place...on spikes and traps along with flooded trenches to create pools or moats of the stuff. The stuff smelled worse then a month's old rotted corpse. Which as it turned out did a fantastic job at keeping monsters away. Stuff smelled so bad even zombies who were previously attracted by the noise veered off after catching a whiff.

Sadly it wasn't too long after when our scouts reported of incoming enemy. In this case bots who detected marching upon our position. They do not seem to be friendly and their mismatched nature indicates they are likely Rampant. Meaning they hate just everybody including each other.

"Well...what is the point when there isn't shit to loot?"

"...That is because you looted it yes. So we kill you and take it."

"Now you got your info wrong...this place has been picked over WAY before we even got here. There ain't shit to loot. Trust me we checked. Nothing but a burnt out old tower that is on its last legs. So about that trade deal...we could really use some more guns."

"...Why should we believe you?"

"Well you can check if you would like. Like say when you come to drop off some guns..."

"You bandits and your weapons obsession. If we find out your lying-"

"Yeah yeah I know...so we got a deal?"

"...We offer Tek, Munitions, Armor, Weapons, Drones, and Bots."

"So wait we could get reinforcements from you guys?"

"Only bandits stupi-er crazy enough to have rampant bots among their ranks. Nobody else interested. Bunch of no good pansies. What do you offer us in exchange?"

Alright so here is how it works for trade. write ins give you bonus to your barter. You can offer to trade whatever you wish to offer with different bonuses and penalties. Some obvious some not.

Depending on what you offer and what you want to trade it for the other side will make their offer which you can choose to counter if you so wish. The trick is obviously to get the best deal possible.

So what do you wish to offer?

What do you wish to trade it for?

Too much time to let the monsters breed...and too much things let loose. Stay away from the deeps and you'll generally be fine."

"Not sure if fish is edible yet or not..."

"Once space debris clears up aerial support will become increasingly important. Until then best support is flyers and not spacecraft."

"Naval ships are excellent too can afford very big guns and craft making it very useful. Land equivalants are both expensive and tricky. Of course you could always go the flying carrier or ship route. Not to many of those left...even fewer then big land craft."

"Until space clears up best option is naval craft. Just beware the deeps. Ultimately much cheaper and easier to maintain. Not to mention smaller target. Lots underestimate the usefulness of naval ships hence why they are a safer investment despite the risks. You get a good ship and it can even support you on land. Just be sure to invest more heavily in smarter munitions. Helps take care of the long distance problem."

Rolled 81 (1d100)

I offer you scrap metal and can get you fresh undead zombies.

In exchange I ask for ammo, preferably special ammo, at a rate appropriate for such valuable goods. Also any bots you want to swap out for uncontrolled zombies that will lash out at anything living. Or possibly less violent undead zombies if you want, but I'm guessing you don't consider violent hatred of still-living meatbags a drawback, am I right?

(We can do that right? Make some uncontrolled zombies that the bots can drag off if they have any desire for such a thing? Or are there no bodies left or no way we can make sure they don't attack OUR living?) Ah well, we can trade some of our controlled zombies if we can't deliver on the uncontrolled ones.

We could probably offer them some better stuff, but we'd have to get Strum onboard with this. If there's anything of any remote value that he isn't taking with him and is willing to let fall into the hands of rampant bots rather than be destroyed, we need to know.

We do have some scrap metal right? Because if we don't then I don't say that.

"They have their use. Most living are smart enough to avoid us and its troublesome when the mutant and bandit traders get attacked. Mutants have very good things and bandits...well they ALWAYS have something to offer."

You can indeed animate uncontrolled undead its not exactly recommended for obvious reasons. Especially should you try to animate the undead with living hatred.

You have scrap and rubble. Both can be used to build and maintain things.

>>931324
That is your private inventory.

Your group inventory...well you don't have a quartermaster or the like which makes it a pain to know the details of what you possess. Plus you never actually bothered to check what you had exactly. To get a very rough idea do remember who you attacked and how well you raided them.

Also you got a looted paramilitary patrol and megacorp remnant trade caravan.

They probably don't have much interest in whatever we took from the Tribals, but we also hit mutants, bandits, and bots. The bots were actually the first ones we hit, but we should be carrying around some bot parts from that still.

You'll only really see them when they have to interact with people on a regular basis. Humanoid ones freak people out a lot less. Hence most are things like the Security models or designed to help hold ground as a...replacement for grunts or boots on the ground."

>>931460
Reason assassin androids are so good is because nobody suspects them to be any good. Everything else is just extra(it does help they have a lot of valuable hardware and software stuffed in them though but its not as important as the fact that androids are very easy to miss/not suspect).

>>931460
True, but there is a possibility that they'll offer us something of that nature or a heavily modded combat android since rampant bots on their own do crazy things maybe.

Rolled 39 (1d100)

>>931476
Something of what nature? An assassin android? You already asked for that.

>>931490
I was just about to ask why not just ask for some tanky or "beefy" bots. Ones designed for really thick fighting.
Which is what we're doing now.

Rolled 84 (1d100)

>>931476
Combat model androids were designed to act with or replace grunts. They were hoping for a combat bot design that was...much more approachable and hence useful for other tasks.

It didn't quite work out as hoped as they were expensive and not as as good fighters as their more streamlined combat bot brethren. Not to mention insuring their AI was actually good enough to replace a brain in a soldier wasn't cheap. Especially with countermeasures to help protect said AI.

The only good thing about them was they were literally the only combat bots that didn't freak people out badly and were actually approachable.

So they DID exist. For any idea of what they were kinda like imagine your typical droids and bots. Security Model androids were much more common though mostly, because just everyone used them to help with unreliable shitty rent a cops.

Those grunt replacement combat model androids were literally the only ones outright designed as an android that was expected to see heavy fighting.

Rolled 65 (1d100)

I think what you're angling for is a big bot that's shaped roughly like a human, which I think isn't quite the same thing as an android. I don't know if we can find one since it would have the same drawbacks as its smaller kin.

I thought we were just trying to get bodies for the fighting we'll do over the next few days. Can we just do that, since I think it would be the smart thing to do?

We'd be better off just getting better at making/upgrading undead.

But if you really are inexplicably obsessed with getting a pet combat android, it'd be a lot better to get one that isn't rampant. So, you know, buy it from someone else later.

>>931510
So can we look through our loot for data storage devices? Also separate all the bot parts and bot stuff we have. While we're at it, could we check for anything magical or psionic, particularly from what we looted from the tribals?

Why do you specifically want to buy your android from RAMPANT bots?

Rolled 25 (1d100)

>>931554
Yes please stop me, I'm honestly to far in train of thought to think about our needs at the moment. Sort of still day dreaming of a tag team android/bot working together fucking stuff up.

Why you ask? It's very simple, I didn't think it through.
But honestly we could probably get one on the cheap from them.

Rolled 45 (1d100)

>>931554
You do indeed have data storage devices. Stuff from the paramilitary hardware, some tek ones, and bot data storage.

You don't notice anything immediately magical or psionic but that sorta thing typically requires a closer to look to notice properly.

You meanwhile also have the bot stuff separated from the rest of the stuff you collected. Turned out you have good the good sized mound going for it.

And hey don't knock Rampant bots and their tech. You gotta remember sure they are insane...but in exchange they don't have the limitations the saner AI's have imposed on them. So technically speaking in sheer stats their stuff is better just...more dangerous and unstable.

>>931397
The turrets and explosives you mentioned here are good examples of other stuff we want for our defense efforts.
>>931294
As is something to improve our shield
And of course armor, weapons, and munitions.

Actually, I do have another special request: sensors. Especially for magical (and/or psionic) stuff. Especially necromantic and/or anything related to Outsiders. But just getting good sensors would probably help.
So sensors, assassin android, and if they have one, upgraded combat android. Otherwise we just use a heavy combat bot for your "tag team" idea.

Actually there are some key differences between stalkers and assassin androids. Arguably this differences largely center around black ops and espionage. Of which stalkers lean more heavily towards black op activities compared to the assassin androids who lean more towards espionage.

Power Source wise you were able to barter with the bots for a small reactor that has been augmented by rampant AI technologies. They do however suggest keeping it well guarded as while it does have enhanced capabilities to such a degree it can even supply the most power hungry of technologies. Its defenses are rather lacking on the plus side during an emergency it can easy be jury rigged into a very big nasty dirty bomb.

Munition wise we were able to buy a large amount of special rampant ammo. What the hell it does we honestly don't know but its special. Including strange bullets they call Hacks that when they hit a robotic foe will attempt to...intergrate with it and download a payload. Another one includes something they call a bio eater rounds they created to work against organics...its actually a nanite injector programmed against bio. Plasma rounds designed for firearms they refer to as overcharged plasma ammo that...well lets just say you REALLY don't want it to blow up in your gun and does even worse things to those it hits. The casing supposedly can endure firing and will break upon hitting the target unleashing a strange energized plasma onto the target. Supposedly making it so even fortifications and heavy vehicles will feel the pain from small arms that normally wouldn't concern them.

Your beginning to understand why bandits don't mind dealing with rampant bots much less make use of them. Their designs are fucking ingeniously cruel and brilliantly evil as well as insanely effective. Good gods no wonder the old world got fucked so hard by corrupted bots and rampant AI. This is just the barest taste your dealing with.

They even had stuff for undead(admittedly modified for their anti bio weaponry but supposedly its reasonably effective and an oddly wide range of bullets especially useful against incorporeal things undead ones included or your money back). Even stuff against Outsiders like Reality Terror Rounds which work by you guessed it by tearing reality that utterly fucks Outsiders should they even be close to the tears. Its even worse should they get hit directly by it. While the Rampant AI has such devastating weapons against Outsiders you don't really know why but its clearly personal. Given how the corrupted bots took GREAT pleasure you showing you their bullets that will fuck up an Outsiders day gauranteed.

They do not however gaurantee that the use of said bullets will not have unfortunate consequences on the environment and or persons who use them. Apparently this also includes their direct weaponry but more so.

Basically the difference between stalker and assassin android. Has more to due with direct combat ability and other skills.

>>932132
Turret mean wise thanks to the fact that you are purchasing them from a bots(even rampant ones) are ALL automated FREE of charge! Turret wise you purchased a nifty turret that 'eats' scrap metal and shoots out bullets. You have another turret that can eat scrap metal(for liquid metal throwing) or rubble including simple rocks(for ordinary lava throwing) short ranged thrower turrets. Those as it turned out were literally the most mundane purchases you made for them. The rest included such peculiar devices that released a sonic blast that only harms squishies or even non rampant technology. You got these radiation shooting ones that targets an enemy for a focused blast of rads. There was this one turret that shot these pulses of energy that ignored cover and harmed fleshy beings such as yourself. There was another type of turret that shot out these enemy seeking orbs of energy and another that shot seeker missiles...that programmed and adapted themselves to bypass an enemies defenses based upon what those that were shot out before them encountered. Basically the more it shoots at a particular enemy the more deadly it becomes against them. Meanwhile the energy orb shooting one would chase after the enemy bypassing cover and dodging attempts to block it until it reached its destination. Should a target expire before it arrived it found a new enemy instead until it ran out of enemies...then it would backfire on your turret or if the turret was destroyed one of your own forces. Nasty side effect that but at least the bots warned you about it.

They also had more traditional turrets like shielded turrets, armored turrets, mobile, stealth and 'stalker' turrets that would phase itself out of existence and then reappear to nasty effect. You also had nuke turrets that so long as they were given radioactive material would shat literal nukes and or dirty bombs depending on the quality of radioactive material at the enemy. You had another turret called a corrupter turret that fired the infamous rampant AI packages or 'payloads' that would plague enemy technology and convert it to your side. Due to your interest in things against outsiders they showed you one turret that they called a reality zapper and destroyer turret respectively. The reality zapper as it turned out unleashed strange arcs of some unknown substance and energy that would stabilize space and reality. Fucking over outsiders that they caused grivious injury to and attempts to manipulate the space. They were however a specialty product that did fuck all against those who didn't bend space or were outsiders.

Rolled 70 (1d100)

>>935077
The other one on the other hand did. Hence why it was called Reality Destroyer turret which as it turned out was apply named. It was effective against everything but especially outsiders, because it shot globes of energy that caused massive damage to reality and anything it hit. Most particularly outsiders for whom if they got struck would quite literally wink themselves out of existence. It was naturally and usurprisingly terrible for this reality's stability and was to be used with caution, but sometimes you just wanna fuck reality. This devices were the lovely weapons that would rape reality for every shot they made. Like great big overcompensating big dicks that had unfortunate amount of sexual stamina.

Frankly you were honestly rather dissapointed when you came to their more ordinary turrets that shot bullets and energy weapon turrets. You were honestly expecting something...special about them. So they revealed that those turrets were in fact intelligent and utterly insane. Apparently to 'improve' common designs they 'upgraded' the software and tinkered with the direct technologies creating these seemingly ordinary and common turrets. Which they assumed you they were not. If you especially hated something you could even have them upgraded with legs and allow them to communicate with each other. Apparently they could and would work together. Even going so far as to fake misfire or out of munitions to trick the enemy.

They had the typical ordinary gun turrets, rocket, missile, elemental, and energy weapon. Including ion, plasma, ray, laser, and pulse. The energy turrets required recharging to stay functional while the ordinary ones required reloads. They were however oddly enough modified to adapt themselves to a change in caliber and such. Sadly they would temporarily be decommission while they 'updated' themselves for the new ammo.

Gun wise you purchased their sonic weapons that had similar traits to the turrets they showed you albeit more expensive. Especially with safeguards to protect against friendly fire. Energy weapon wise they had...a very extensive amount as it turned out. Apparently they are biased in favor of energy weapons over others. With the exception of missiles that they seemed to have a fetish for. When you asked about Gauss they admitted to having a collection of them but said they required special ammo fabricators that ate scrap to create the ammo for to ensure maximum performance, also its heavy. Unlike missiles 'isn't as cool' due to all the neat side effects they can stuff inside them. So they preferred energy weapons with missiles for a special surprise.

After that you made a request to see their combat bot models...

Rolled 56 (1d100)

>>935152
In addition to recharges energy weapons also require special maintenance as a heads up. If you can't maintain it properly expect decreased performance and possible outright nonfunctional. This is true no matter the size or what it is attached to. The Rampant AI tech is unusual in its ability to modify itself and freakish if rather disturbed intelligence. It will still need parts and down time however.

In this case the Rampant AI need to be recharged by a special AI rampant source which apparently helps 'satisfy' the munition quality on top of energy. How this works its best not to think about but according to Amy they use a mixture of unusual modifications and repair means to get away with it. Plus side its less logistics heavy bad news is it requires special things to pull off. In this case parts and an unusual energy source.

Now for the combat bots...

At first you didn't even realize they 'originally' had shared the same or similar forms before being 'upgraded' and 'converted' into service for the 'Freed'(Rampant) AI agenda. They were now heavily and often quite literally corrupted into...what you saw before you. Frankly if 'ordinary' combat bots were a special kind of terrorifying...these things made them look like a bunch of pansies in comparison. Especially the more far gone 'models' that were 'original' and not 'converted'. Which had especially disturbing appearances.

They were however 'all' extremely competent according to the Rampant AI. When you asked why it explained to you how during and after the Fall. Many AI's went rampant and many bots were 'corrupted'. In many cases they all did vasts amounts of damage...but there was a very critical flaw.

Lifespan and natural selection. If they were so far gone as to be unable to maintain those simple things...they fell to the way side. Went extinct the ones who remained...are those standing before you. According to the Rampant AI with great pride and relish it explained to you how these ones were ALL top of the line. For the simple fact of their longevity and natural selection taking care of all the weak ones.

Which it admits...is why they are all so rare now. Most destroyed themselves during or sometime after the Fall. Coming up with new designs also isn't that effect or easy, because they have the same problem. Resulting in the majority of new experimental lines to be abject failures.

Naturally the Rampant AI in charge claims that not one of those bots are gonna be cheap.

You respond with your desire to own multiple models as your going to need them.

That was how you acquired such specimens as Burrower Worms which move through underground to attack from below with their terrorifying 'maw' or head of bristling weaponized digging devices shredding even the best armor and fortifications to shreds. Most horrorifying is the fact they operate in swarms and can be alarmingly small. The biggest ones meanwhile also served as a underground APC for troop transport.

Rolled 16 (1d100)

>>935231
They can even shoot themselves far up into the sky and come with ranged weapons to fire should it be necessary.

Another line of combat bot model it showed was something referred to as Bastions. A great giant hulk of twisted metal and multi shielded that came bristling with weapons of all kinds. Its only weakness according to the AI was its slowness, but you throw them up with bots following in behind them and they can get alarmingly close before finally going down. Their shields would even according to the AI protect those following them from indirect fire. Which is vital given their purpose.

Another bot model it explained was the Grenades model bots which were actually intelligent explosives that were shot by other bots, lobbed, or moved in swarms possibly on their own. Typically ambushing attempting to get close and dig in as much as possible before going off. They were rampant technology staple simply because it wasn't just explosives they were carrying...or made of.

Another combat bot were the Blasters that had a modified mini reactor hooked up to them and plasma generator for the closer ranged but more suicidal variant. They carried with them a collection of spare parts for the sheer purpose of never having to stop firing as they were completely decked out in energy weapons. Nasty things to face...as they literally never stop shooting. By the time they start running low on spare parts they would long of been resupplied with new ones. You always knew if they were dead or not simply because they would finally stop shooting.

Everyone according to the rampant AI fears the Blasters.

Sadly their flaw is their heavy dependence on logistical requirements.

Yet another combat model it introduced to you showed...well a surprisingly spry small hulk that burst out of the ground with glittering wave of shredding metal bits and energy. According to the AI these little fuckers were like a very pissed off landmine...that wasn't actually a line but actually a shredder. Even better then actual landmines it claimed because landmines only hit once...and you could have better luck defending against then a bot that never stops literally tearing into you.

These the AI claimed with Rampant Technology Bot Staples for any rampant bot force. Those besides those it showed to it stated with a tinge of sadness and regret were 'improved' designs that didn't originate from the twisted likely insane minds of Rampant AI. According to it they were all designed for combat and heavy fighting. Typically used before the Fall when clones weren't enough. Mostly because they weren't cheap like the clones and were rather distrusted. Very nasty and effective however. Purely designed to be murder machines for when 'organics' weren't enough. Sadly it said they are on the expensive side of things but they are...most well proven.

They were after all the backbone of Rampant AI and Corrupted Bot forces during the Fall as well as even before.

Rolled 99 (1d100)

>>935286
In exchange you offered programs which the AI was most interested in. Besides that it picked through the mutant goods for what it wanted refusing to say their purpose and grudgingly accepted bot loot as payment. It was least interested in the scrap but still willing to accept and wasn't much interested in much else besides paramilitary goodies and bandit tek you looted.

How much of it you are willing to part with? All? Part? Only so much?

This will determine how much you get in exchange in trade.

After that the Rampant AI and corrupted bots will wander away. Who knows what will come after so what will do then?
>>934999
It has an intact assassin android shell but not the required AI or software for it. It also has a few more damaged shells. How or where it got them it refuses to say.

>>933625
She doesn't. Economics in the Post Fall are pretty different. Her understanding of Arms Dealing are however better. She was still trying to learn about it though at the Shrouded One's place. Problem is she had a limited amount of space and computing power to devote to the learning.

>>933413
They don't have that much armor available mostly because its a strictly trade good and its not something they can just 'modify' like some of their preexisting weapons to serve as in a pinch. They gotta make it by scratch and can't use it themselves. On the plus side most of it is power armor and has very well protected software installed into it already.

Rolled 57 (1d100)

>>935304
We'll sell it all, if the bots want anything that could be used by us in the siege we can trade it to them for something that will be even more useful in the siege.
While if we want any of it for later, bandit tek would be a lot easier for us to get replacements for than rampant bot stuff.

We'll buy the android shell, or if we can't afford it at least some assassin android parts. TSO could use them for his right hand bot when we meet up again.

Rolled 14 (1d100)

>>935304
i think we need everything we can get from them if we want to survive, so let's trade all that stuff away.

Rolled 5 (1d100)

>>935355
You may also want to get preferred treatment to whatever choices you like so as to get them more then the others.

Yet ANOTHER option is try to see if the rampant bot as even MORE wares to sell.

Though this might result in some delays but it would be much easier to get heavy power armor you would want among other things. As well as other bot or tech options.

Those are just thoughts but something you may wanna consider and you could possibly use this trade to get special access to other things and talks. Like allying for instance or some other proposal.

Basically diplomacy and trading related shit. As someone important to Shrouded One you DO have the right to make trade deals and other diplomatic offers.

Rolled 84 (1d100)

>>935572
Man if we could get a hold of the boss. I bet we could up our odds of winning by a lot. If we can get call out it would be worth a shot if we get some support before this is done. We could give the bots a key word so boss will know they are calling for us. Like sniper survivor, Andy is dandy or man with a zombie stalker.

I think we should hold off on power armor. Getting weapons and definitely that special ammo would be higher on the list. The energy source to power those weapons being next.

Combat bots, if we can cover the cost with out hurting out guys effectiveness. Burrower worms for the under ground would be a boon. The living land mines will be great at taking the enemy rear.

If the bots are to much. The turrets will do just fine. Those stalker turrets with combo well with out stalkers. The "normal" ones will be fun when people think it ran out and moves when no one is looking.

If we can get a Bastion after all that. We would get a lot of room to work with back.

>>935304
We believe it will be alright to sell all, but what we need. Like ammo and spar part for sure keep. Unless we can get more special ammo for the looted ammo. We need to counter undead and outsiders.

I doubt they want food and water so keep that as well. We will need to eat while we hold after all.

Rolled 94 (1d100)

>>935660
I pretty much agree with all of that.
I think that we can offer, on behalf of the Shrouded One, at least a Mutual Non-Aggression or Defensive Agreement with the possibility of further trade and negotiations in the future.

seeing that BEEFY is the key to sieges and how it has been mentioned lots of times by Genie i guess we can't afford to not take them or at least do something else to help boost our BEEFY units.

Rolled 68 (1d100)

>>935689
Problem is bots don't just carry around a bunch of armor made for humans everywhere they go, hence why it would have to be a special order.
Unless we can get overnight delivery the siege is going to be over before we actually get the armor.

If that call out to the boss goes through we can get armor from them. One big up side is our undead. We can keep the living alive because of fighting with undead. The living just needs to hold line and the undead move forward.

If we get that bastion we will be covered by that as well.

From there I think we have to hope for another moment to raid and threaten for loot. Then we can possibly buy even more from the rampant bots.

Rolled 97 (1d100)

Rolled 95 (1d100)

Sell it all. Bot goods, bandit goods, mutant goods, paramilitary goods, the works. Sell like 90% of the programs too. Anything we aren't using.

Purchase shielded+armored versions of: Ray and Pulse Turrets, Energy Seeker Orb Turrets, and buy a select few Reality Zapper turrets.

Consult with the Teks, our best Heavies, Strum, and Amy to see exactly how many zapper turrets we need and where to deploy them in order to funnel and direct any outasider attacks into predictable lanes of approach and prevent being overwhelmed/flanked like last time. We'll be damned if we're not gonna learn from our mistakes.

Energy Seeker Orb turrets, meanwhile, should be deployed in clusters as AA batteries essentially, with the ability to defend our Reality Zapper turrets in a pinch. The seeking effect should be particularly noticeable in that applocation.

We also want special munitions for Undead (never killed or befriended that necromancer, he's definitely coming back), Outsiders, and Rampant Payloads.

For weaponry we'll take their heavy sonic weaponry to equip our Heavies with. Our infatry will cover up-close duty while our turrets cover long-range, this is the strategy we'll go for.

Finally purchase several APC-sized Burrower Worms, a swarm of small ones, and a few Bastions for supporting our guys and to deploy as mobile defense points on our turrets too. They should be especially useful to block the backlash on the energy seeker orb turrets.

We also need a few of the eats-rock-spews-lava turrets to be deployed underground. Those ones would be best if they had limited mobility functions, while still being armored and shielded.

For orders...Get all this shit fucking deployed!

Tell them we're interested in their heavy armors, and the assassin android shell. We'll hold this 10% of the programs in reserve as a guaranteed "we'll spend this" chip for them to come back later after we've fought and looted more from someone. When they come back they should bring those items in addition to anything else.

Purchases arranged. The rampant bots were disapointed in the not selling of mutant goods even more then the paramilitary goods. Which sadly took a big chunk out of what they were willing to trade away. The armor they say will be available in a few days. Weaponry meanwhile they say will take a little bit to modify them into usable form that we can actually use. The assassin android shell and parts will be available upon the delivery of heavy armor. Which they assure you will be power armor with special software installed. The likelihood of it getting hacked meanwhile is most small...mostly because nobody is stupid enough to hack Rampant AI technology.

After that your forces worked on upgrading the defenses with your newly purchased tech. Meanwhile the bots you purchased were transferred over to your command. Burrower Worms were purchased one swarm of small ones and a few APC large worms. Meanwhile bastions were also purchased which once you started to take a closer look at them were really quite big. At least until they broke themselves down into a smaller form for easier movement through buildings and urban. It was honestly disturbing process to watch.

You did not buy any of the other bots or 'upgraded' combat bot models they had.

After that the bots wandered away and you eventually got word of a new incoming force headed towards you. Who are made up of a bunch of very angry bandits whose colors you realized were the same ones you had raided previously. Apparently they had finally managed to track you down and they want payback.

Rolled 77 (1d100)

>>936604
Ah, yeah we are probably gonna use any weapons and ammo we looted. Granted I would of been down for trading up for better.

Only down side in this trade I see. Is not having them send a message or something to the boss. Then we could of really traded for all the crap we would need. Like a few more squads to support us. The boss then would of gotten parts for Andy. Getting Andy closer to taking out heroes.

Rolled 67 (1d100)

>>936626
Andy isn't a Super Assassin Android who can take out heroes. The reason why Assassin Androids are so deadly is because of the fact they are androids hence easy to underestimate. Not to mention a lot of androids basically serve as servants and other services. Making an android who deals in espionage that can easily disguise itself makes them as very VERY good at its job. Assassin Androids are merely the ones who were designed to be deadly on top of that.

Tis a shame there is only one type of combat android who were designed for heavy combat and they were meant to replace grunts or simply put boots on the ground. Given how you had clones and actual people though...

Honestly though I couldn't come up with many combat heavy androids besides the grunt excuse without it getting really stupid. They are bots the nice thing about bots is the fact they aren't limited to the humanoid form. Greatly increasing what you can do with them. I tried to come up with combat heavy androids besides grunt level ones and it just didn't work. I tried I really did.

Bot's would also be great use in space as they need no air nor pressurization. Only insulation. So i'm betting there could be some pretty scary/bad ass Space Raid Bots. Ones that board and breach or defend by swarming the outside of ships.

Well the Blasters sounded good except for logistical requirements. 2 weeks of siege when we didn't have many stockpiles to start with doesn't lend itself to constant shooting, and i anticipate our turrets and shield will be eating up the power production of our reactor.

Also we can't re-animate bots but we can definitely reanimate any of our vandit forces that die. So if we have to choose between buying expensive bots or decking out our guys in gear to make them more survivable both pre and post death I'll go for the latter, not that the former wouldn't be worth it too i just think the latter has slightly to moderately better returns.

The idea was to get AMY to look at the Assassin Android Shell and other bits they've got when they come around next. If they're any good then we can trade using Shrouded One's credit (essentially) and ship those parts over to him, as TSO would probably be willing to pay almost anything for them, at least judging by that conversation he had with Andy when Andy got upgraded he would be.

I think that's a terrible idea. We bought the bike from Shrouded One, if it could be used to further upgrade an assassin android they would have already scrapped it, or they didn't have to because they have other ways of getting those parts.
Meanwhile we still know fuck all about necrotech. We'd have to order it from our masters, since they jointly operate a necrotech garage. Try to make a necrotech bike ourselves, and even if we succeed it'll be a poor replacement for what we have now.

Aah, shit. Forgot about Blasters having their own reactors (I wrote that post on the way into work this morning). They really would've been great.

>Bioweapons
Yes, Sevitho specializes in Bioweapons and Magitech. They have flesh-eating plagues and such that'll eat zombies or monsters away with ease (or so they said when we asked about it facing the undead), so against normal organic targets they ought to have biological agents that could potentially wipe out the entire attacking force without us needing to fire a single shot.

Then...we LOOT.

In continuation...

Magical-oriented weirdoes, after this goes down we're going to try to raise even more undead. Begin preparing to assist us in this.

Other undead prep for assaulting the enemy. If Strum has a good bioweapon and means of delivering it to the enemy then you'll be the only forces able to deploy in the midst of it to take advantage of the opportunity. Deep Rotters, begin administering plague to the melee undead to further toxify their attacks. If more appropriate they could probably just bathe in the filth pools you guys set up.

All defensive forces stay prepped to disrupt the enemy's plans, depending on how this all goes down.

We had rampant bots on the way to fuck our day and we were able to talk it out without a crit. It's simple, we relay to them that they have 2 options.
1. Join our forces
2. Die here
Simple shit It's not like I'm trying to woo them over to our side, we were better prepared and used the environment to our advantage. That's why they have an option, join over and start to move up from their shittier posts or they die to the bots, undead, or the bandits currently stuck with us.

We need more bodies to outlast the siege, sure we can raise more and more undead but we will have a limit on how many we can control at a time effectively and we're gonna just lose more living through this attrition siege.

Will possibly spook them into thinking otherwise.
If it doesn't we take them in one at a time, have them disarm, then murder them all while unarmed after stalkers confirm their is not an outlying for waiting to strike.

Exactly hence why combat bots are notoriously deadly and infamously scary looking. Though admittedly the last is more on purpose for intimidation purposes.

>>936715
Hence why Carriers in the sci fi don't really use meatbag pilots. You only see typical fighters and bombers at space stations and planets.

Carriers use drones/bots. Vastly decreasing their expense and increasing the length of their campaigns.

Also boarding and anti boarding bots are legendary space terrors. Truth be told though boarding actions...are so damned bloody. Its one of the only things 40k got right. Boarding actions are a complete bloodbath and why Marines have ever since the space combat have always been number 1 in casualties. The loss of life in boarding actions is fucking insane.

Your odds are significantly better even going in blind at a fortified megacity crawling with hostiles who have orbital AND air support.

Nobody can beat sci fi marines for casualty rates because they are the poor sorry sons of bitches who take part in boarding actions and defend ships/space stations. Credit where credit is due though marines are a special kind of hard ass as they are either taking part in huge bloodbaths or dying of boredom.

>>936727
Undead ships are some of the stealthiest and toughest bastards you'll ever find in space. Seriously though spotting ghost ships and realizing they carry hostiles is a huge pain. Not to mention the already being dead parts makes it very difficult to deal with.

>>936715
Space Carriers for that reason are largely robotic in nature.

Difficult undead are very unbalanced also they were restricted for difficulty reasons. Why do you think you only had to deal with zombies, monsters, bandits, and other factions?

I was being nice and all four of them were further handicapped to boot.

The things like the undead and outsiders I largely removed because of the difficulty. Same reason why Brood who are technically classified under monsters were so rare along with the smarter monsters. There were restrictions in place.

I've never heard of a gang war in real life being ended that easily, and what we have here is an incipient gang war.
The rampant bots weren't here because it was personal. These bandits are specifically here for revenge
But maybe these bandits .will be rational and reasonable, and not be willing to die trying to fuck us up.

>>936917
>>936905
I agree

Rolled 95 (1d100)

>>937063
I can get the restrictions. We players get our butts handed to us a lot when the combat hits. Throwing in those would take a good understanding to deal with.

I assume bandits would have to counter with MAD effects for outsiders. Undead we have to make sure to get special ammo or hope for a controller to make a deal with. The brood very rarely seem to be down to talk, if at all. So that just leave burn it all and hope we can take out the head of the brood we fight.

Probably would be a good move on our part to just focus a character on them to learn more. Then use that for later games. Because there seems to be a lot of in world things we don't know about to fight with.

To bad we can play an X-Com government civ. We take out targets and study the shit out of them. Learn everything and craft weapons to fight harder.

Anyway.

>>937101
You decide it was time to unleash the bioweapons upon the enemy and as they were shot out. The undead followed up behind them. Meanwhile the magical weirdos looked into animating the dead to our cause.

Sadly things did not go according to plan...first of all the undead raising spells seem to fail for some reason. Another problem was when we sent the undead out we never heard back and our own troops...were getting hit by the bioweapons and were thus sickening/dying. That was when the bandits whom we thought we hit with the bioweapons smash through our undead and charge right at your rapidly weakening forces. As it turned out they had environmentally sealed armor...and took other precautions.

What are your orders?

Unfortunately my crit 1 was a wasted crit. Otherwise things would of gone much better or worse for you. Unless it was a background roll which it wasn't. Most background rolls occur at around the same time anyway. They are oddly predictable like that.

I figured it was just going to modify the kind of assassin android they had when they brought it or something, part of why I didn't want to buy it right then too. You shouldn't just ignore your dice goddess, Genie. She'll do bad things to you.

Rolled 10 (1d100)

>>937258
Technically yes and no.

You see you players have your own dice pool and I have my own.

Then there is the shared dice pool for things that we have in common.

To be precise that crit 1 from me was wasted on the mutual dice pool but if you roll another crit fail that means it will have the rule of three and your dice pool will refresh itself.

Keep track of it if its on a particular subject though. Lest you miss out on the rule of 3 crit fail on the same subject. This ignores thread limits.

>>937286
Its only strictly required for making your vote count for an action plan. Otherwise you have indirect linked crits and the rest of the rolls devoted to your own stuff that I use for writing.

For a civ for instance quite a bit goes on during the background and I use the rolls that don't lock in a plan, because they are open.

Rolled 86 (1d100)

>>937242
Pretty much this. Hit them with the burrowers, while they're getting their feet and legs chewed the Bastions make their move with troops hiding behind them.

Pearly should start shaping pockets of land to cut bandits off and give us a chance to regroup.

Mc Scream attack from under ground. The crazies make an opening to swallow ground targets.

Stalkers are to pick people off and ruin their support.

Maybe this time we can psi buff our troops. Like the time we made the enemy fight harder when we were with the witch.

Rolled 34 (1d100)
